The One With The RFP

Gemuk mengambil buku nota ku lantas mula melukis process diagram.

Gemuk: Mula-mula kita hantar RFP.
Aku: RFP tu ape?
Gemuk:RFP tu Request For Purchase
Aku: Ooooo
Gemuk:Lepas tu kena dapat signature Head Of Dept.
Aku:Lepas tu?
Gemuk:Lepas tu kau kena hantar kat Budget Coordinator
Aku: Hari ni tak dapat la..dia MC.Lepas dia sign baru hantar gi procurement?
Gemuk:Yap
Aku:Ooooo...ni dah settle ke? (masa ni aku dah start boring sebab diagram dah nak abis satu page)
Gemuk:Ha?Belum la...ada lagi ni...

Gemuk meneruskan bebelannya sambil melukis process diagram sampai 2 page!
Punya la susah nak apply kat procurement for picking a vendor.

Aku: Muk..overall process how long?
Gemuk: Ini 3 days..Ini 7 days bla..bla.. 2 weeks

Aku dah start garu kepala.

Gemuk: Dont worry lama-lama buat nanti biasa.

Lama-lama buat?Manual? Wish i can do it automated. Come on we should have a system to manage these processes.

Ini adalah first day aku start belajar administrative work yg Assistant Manager which is currently Gemuk selalu buat. . I begin to sense these stuff would be tougher for me to digest..developing an FTP client is easier. Mungkin kalau aku rebus diagram 2 page tu and minum air nye....hmmmmm

My parents are going to Mecca this coming December. We have been staying with my parents since Jannah was born. So secara default nye my parents adalah penjaga rasmi Jannah while we are off to work. Dengan keberangkatan parents ku untuk mengerjakan ibadah Haji.. ini bermaksud we have to find Jannah a babysitter or send her to nursery. To me it's about time and my parents being away to Mecca is a good excuse for me to take her off from her grandparent's care giving. Dont't get me wrong here. My parents are superb care givers..sapa tak sayang cucu oi! But it's almost 2 years now. Initially i planned for a 6 month stay...then a year stay lepas tu sampai la sekarang. It has been too long and everytime i mentioned it my mom would go bla..bla..bla.Actually dia nak jaga cucu dia tu hehehe. Anyway it's time for the three of us to start living our own life as a family. I'm sure going to miss few things like:

1. Don't have to cook for dinner everyday since my mom took care of that
2. Peace of mind as i know Jannah is in good hands
3. Abusing my brother's powerful PC untuk bermain game.
4. Rumah dekat dengan TESCO so senang nak shop for groceries
5. My mom's sambal tumis petai
6. Hearing Jannah calling her grandmother, grandfather and uncle. She calls her uncle by name 'Syammm....' siap berirama tuuu...
7. Free Internet access.
   

So last weekend we went back to our apartment looking for babysitter ads. After that balik to my parent's and this thought crossed my mind: it may not be a good idea to leave Jannah at babysitters yang tinggal di apartment. There are potential dangers like falling off from the balcony..issh..nauzubillah. Well call me a paranoid but my instinct told me to scrap off the idea. So this morning i told my wife why don't she ask her mak angkat about babysitters in Taman Melawati ..near her parents' home. My wife's mak angkat used to be her babysitter.She already retired from babysitting. Sending Jannah around that area seems like a good decision since my father in law could pick her up while waiting for us to return from work...if he wants to la(my mom in law is still working). Kadang-kadang boleh pakai juge otak aku ni ye hehe. During lunch time my wife told me that she already have few babysitter on the list. This coming Wednesday both of us are taking a day off for reconnaissance mission.
Should everything goes well and we settle for a babysitter in Taman Melawati, we have to prepare for:

1. Going out early in the morning from Tasik Selatan to Melawati
2. Outside dinner 5 days a week since i don't think we have enough time to prepare one
3. Less TV time
4. Less couple time
5. Less time to work on my pet project (which i have to start from scratch again due to my stolen laptop)

However i'm looking forward to this new shift. Just the 3 of us for now... Abah,Ummi and Jannah...

Assignment claim data conversion ke SAP file interface sudah pun complete. Cuma tinggal untuk melaksanakan System Integration Test dengan pihak di sana. Isteri masih belum habis bekerja. Perut sudah lapar..nasib baik Fendi membawa turun kuih La Cucur hasil seludupannya dari meeting Sales Commitee di atas. Makan karipap yang berharga seringgit. Dengar khabar karipap tersebut di beli dengan harga 3 seringgit. Untung besar le macam tu. Sambil merehatkan otak sekejap sambil men'download' trailer untuk Ipodku. Filem Heartbreak Kid lakunan Ben Stiller macam best aje.Kerja agak kucar kacir sekarang.Di samping membuat coding, saya juga di beri tugasan untuk melakukan kajian mencari sumber data transaksi untuk projek mega yang akan di lembutlancarkan around next week (yelah tu..). These days i'm beginning to receive assignment sebegini. Atas alasan apa saya pun tidak tahu.Yang nyatanya tangan dan otakku amat tak keruan kerana tidak membuat sebarang system development secara hard core akhir-akhir ini.Bos sudah bertanya selesakah saya dengan tugasan di luar domain kepakaran? Saya menjawab: Bos saya memerlukan skill skill lembut (soft skills) ini untuk menjadi aset yang berharga kepada syarikat. Thinking back..it was quite a bodek punya answer heheh. But i do need these skills..since i've spent quite a long time with for loops, object oriented other java programming syntaxes. Seorang kawan pernah berkata..dunia corporate bukan dunia kau..dunia kau adalah develop software..kau dan aku sama we dont belong in that world. Kawan ini dulu nye penah bersama di dunia korporat tetapi mengorak langkah berani keluar dari hidup yang stabil mengejar apa yang paling disukainya. Mungkin not my time yet but it will happen someday. I am trying to climb the ladder here..at least if i wont make it sekurang-kurangnye aku die trying. I know it's a bit susah dilakukan but bak cogankata Pengakap "Buat Sehabis Baik"!
